When should bridesmaid's buy their dresses?

Thecane428, on January 18, 2015 at 4:51 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12

My wedding is in April and my girls still haven't bought their dresses. I'm letting them pick their dress from Davids bridal as longest it's the same color. Now my question is when is it absolutely necessary for them to pick it? About how much time do they have left?

    I would go immediately. It can sometimes take months for dresses to come in and then you most likely have to get them altered. I would take them all as soon as you cab

    In my opinion, BMs should have their dress at least 4 months before the wedding. This way if alterations are needed there's time.

    Umm like today. I would schedule an appointment for them to go at least by next weekend. My MOH ordered her dress in October from DB and it just came in last Friday... So it took 3 months for her to get her dress back. A few others it took 2 months. I just wouldn't risk waiting too much longer because you want to leave time for alterations if they need them.

    I think 3-4months. You don't want to do it too far off from the wedding because peoples weight can change drastically

    I would have them go immediately. It can take around 4 months or even longer for bridesmaid dresses to come in.

    Uh yikes they definitely need to order them RIGHT AWAY! My wedding is in July and Alfred Angelo suggested my girls have the dresses ordered by the end of this month (6 months ahead of time)

    Yea I'd have them go soon. But I will say that for my sister's wedding we went a few months before the wedding and found something no problem. So, even though everyone is staying go now, don't stress over it. Just make an appt to go next weekend and see what they find

    IMMEDIATELY!!!! I'm having my bridesmaids order theirs now for my August wedding. The dress I picked won't come in until April. I'm glad I'm ordering when I am.

    My wedding is May 16 my BM ordered theirs last week. Ours take 6 weeks to come in, but I ordered from a wholesaler(trusted reliable company we've ordered from before), because I own a clothing store and all bridal shops have a 80%mark up. It will make you sick.
